Ds started this whilst we were away and I could not get a safety sleep, so I fashioned my own version.

He's in a sleeping bag, so i threaded a sheet underneath him iykwim so that he can't get up mind you or turn over, so that probably wouldn't help your tummy sleeper - it worked for us, goodness knows he would never sleep otherwise.]]> Thu, 24 Sep 2009 16:21:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=785168&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#785168 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=785019&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#785019 Author: LG

I agree! They are honestly the best thing ever! keeps

K.A, Caden was the same in the sleeping bags, he would try and walk and fall over worse than when he wasnt in one

My bubs is in a Sleep T at 11 months old. She had been in it a while and turns around in it no problems and it. Sometimes she does wakes and I think it is cause she is trying to move around but is somewhat restricted - but she settles quickly again. The new trick is standing in it - but once again she can't get far and she does resettle herself. They are definately well worth it - goodluck.]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:39:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=784449&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#784449 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=783665&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#783665 Author: Henna79

or try a sleeping bag. Alex was exactly the same, tummy sleeper and all, and we went the sleeping bag route and its the only thing that worked. I also tucked it in under the mattress to prevent him from crawling up the cot as he is a mover when asleep. ]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:41:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=783665&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#783665 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=783601&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#783601 Author: lilfatty

Just put it on loose enough so she can roll off her tummy if she wants too. We always put Issy on her back but left enough room for her to roll over.]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:26:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=783601&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#783601 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=783543&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#783543 Author: LG

Im hoping someone has some ideas for me to try.
For the last 3 weeks every time Kaelin gets put in her cot she pulls herself up so shes standing & after walking around the cot for awhile gets bored & starts screaming to get down. I've dropped the cot as low as it will go but thats not making any difference. I've been trying to teach her to get herself down but she keeps falling back & hitting her head.
So I've been going in after a couple of mins of screaming, calming her down (usually by cuddling her, i leave her in the cot if i can though), tucking her in and leaving, and then it starts again. Its taking up to 3 hours to get her to sleep doing this so its really not working! Does anyone have any other ideas how i can manage it so she learns to go to sleep and/or get herself down so then she can go to sleep?
Because its taking so long to get her down shes missing a sleep most days & then is too tired to eat so its all turning to custard as shes not putting on enough weight as it is so im supposed to be feeding her twice a night but have only been doing once because im too tired. Thanks guys!]]> Wed, 23 Sep 2009 08:50:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28911&PID=783495&title=standing-in-cot-any-ideas#783495
